Buying a boat does not follow the same legal process as buying a conventional property - The buyer must be able to put 10% non-refundable deposit to proceed with the paperwork. The balance is then paid on a convenient date for all parties concerned. You do not need a solicitor to complete the purchase, however, we are in touch with an expert that will finalise the legal sale.
Although these particulars are thought to be materially correct their accuracy cannot be guaranteed and they do not form part of any contract.
